Inter Club contest for News of the World medals, circa 1930s, also another silver medal, all cased (17) Note from the vendor: Dan Morrison was born in Ness on the Isle of Lewis. His Mother died when he was 9 years of age. He and his siblings were brought up by loving relatives. He managed to get a secondhand Box Brownie camera, so he started taking photos of life round about him in the 30's, 40's and 50's. He was smart lad so the headmaster at the local school wanted him to further his education. Dan told him he could not afford a suit so the headmaster bought him one. His Father meanwhile had gone to New Zealand to earn a living for the family, so between his Father sending money and the bursary that was available he finished his education in the Nicolson Institute in Stornoway. From there he went to Glasgow University and trained as a teacher. He taught in the city for a while and then war came. He was put into a London regiment which he found quite humourous. A Gaelic speaking Highlander in with Cockney lads, whom he regaled with tall tales! He moved to Oban High School in 1956 and there he stayed until he retired. He and his wife Agnes were married for 62 years and he had one daughter who lives in Canada. His book of photographs was published in 1997 and the local publishing company did a reprint last year. Dan was 98 when he passed away. He always dressed immaculately.

John Brett ARA (1831-1902) Portrait study of Daisy, the artist's daughter, aged 19 months Dated and inscribed Sketch of Daisy/age 19 months/aug 13 1874 (upper right) and signed and inscribed Presented to Pollie/august 16th 1874/John Brett (to verso) Oil on board 20.9 x 17cm; 8¼ x 6¾in Provenance: Given by the artist to his wife Mary Brett, 16 August 1874; By descent to the sitter, Daisy Watson (née Brett); Maas Gallery, London, 1991; Private Collection Literature: Christiana Payne and Charles Brett, John Brett Pre-Raphaelite Landscape Painter (Yale, 2010), p.217, no 713 (unseen and unlocated by the author and listed as (?)pencil) We are grateful to Charles Brett for his assistance cataloguing the present work, and for the following information: This charming study of his second child, and eldest daughter, Daisy, was painted in Guernsey, where Brett and his family spent the summer of 1874. A few days later he presented it to his wife Mary (also known as Pollie). After her death in 1911, it was inherited by the sitter (then Daisy Watson), and passed down in her family until its acquisition by the Maas Gallery in 1991. Brett made oil studies of all his seven children at some point in their early years, although from 1879 onwards he preferred to use the camera to record their activities.
